| It is well known that first-generation Anabaptists immersed
themselves in scripture-but how did they interpret the Bible? What
verses were most important to them? How did the Bible shape their piety
and daily life? The Biblical Concordance of the Swiss Brethren,
available for the first time in English, goes a long way in providing
answers to these questions. In this early printed booklet, the Swiss
Brethren organized Old and New Testament passages under topical
headings beginning with the "Fear of God" and ending with "Child
Rearing" with over 60 more topical sections in between. | |

As was true of the first edition, God's Healing Strategy, Revised Edition, portrays God's persevering love as the heart of the Bible's message. Bible study can focus on details at the expense of the Bible's overarching themes. Without losing sight of the details, this short but thorough book identifies God's healing love as the central theme of the Bible and challenges Christians to let that love shape lives today. Includes study questions, extensive suggestions for further reading, and a bibliography. Revised edition Copyright 2011 Cascadia Publishing House | |

| This is a used book in excellent condition. There are no torn pages or writing in the book. In AD 57 or 58, the apostle Paul sent his faithful co-worker and patron Phoebe on an 800 mile journey to deliver a letter to all the Christians in Rome. Today we have Paul's letter but know little about its historical context. Yet similar tensions still trouble churches. Finger claims we cannot understand Romans for our day unless we grasp its original setting. She guides users of the book to re-create house churches as in first-century Rome. Copyright 1993 | |

| What are the roots of human violence? Many theses seek to explain
societal rivalry, injustice, and scapegoating. Perhaps none is more
thorough or persuasive than Rene Girard's. Yet do his theories on
imitation, rivalry, violence, sacrifice, and religion find support in
Scripture? These scholarly essays engage this question at multiple
levels. Especially Girard's theories on sacrifice and imitation are
critically examined in these significant contributions to Girardian
scholarship which culminate in a response by Girard himself.
Addressed as well in Violence Renounced are kingship and servanthood,
the relation between the Testaments on sacrifice and atonement, and
such basic themes as the human primal nature, the shape of new creation
in Jewish and Christian reality, and feminist perspectives on Girardian
theory. Also seen in new light are standard beliefs and doctrines on
atonement, who/what killed Jesus, and how peace is to be rightly
achieved. Copyright 2000. | |

| Neither commentary nor traditional meditations, Eby's Markings
are a spiritual memoir. His musings on 70 episodes or texts in the
Gospel of Mark blend intellectual inquiry with confessional worship.
They meld poignancy, whimsy, grit, doubt, sorrow, and inspiration.
Anyone attending to the care of her or his soul will find nurture here.
Eby's project from the practice of old spiritual disciplines: Bible
Study, meditation, prayer, contemplation, silence, writing. Using the
Gospel of Mark for his own Markings, Eby explored the Gospel through
the grid of his forty years teaching literature at the college level,
reading and writing, listening to music, walking in the orchard and
woods, living in Africa, heeding one wise woman, rearing children,
stumbling towards God. Then, under the influence of a given text and
personal memory, he sat down and wrote, yielding these personal musings
on a spare but elegant Gospel. | |
